Now that Drudge is leading with this story, perhaps people are now paying attention to the fact that Barack Obama is giving away the Internet to a quasi United Nations organization in a little over a month.

We’re going to cut right to the chase. Republican and Democrat elites in Congress, who are beholden to international fat-cats, are hoping and praying that you won’t call or fax them because they have the power to easily stop this Internet surrender, but they would really prefer just to let it happen.

Senator Ted Cruz calls what Obama is doing a “great threat” and The Blaze reports that Cruz claims this Internet surrender would “allow foreign governments to prohibit speech that they don’t agree with.”

Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, James Lankford, Ben Sasse and Tom Cotton have introduced S.3034, the Protecting Internet Freedom Act, to stop Barack Obama from single-handedly handing over control of your Internet to global stakeholders, but this legislation is tied up in committee.

“The United States Cannot Allow Authoritarian Regimes To Increase Their Influence Over The Core Operating Functions Of The Internet. -Senator Ted Cruz

If what Barack Obama is trying to do sounds familiar, it should. This is not his first attempt to hand over control of your Internet to a United Nations-style global multi-stakeholder community.

The Hill reports: “In 2014, the Commerce Department’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced it would begin a long-planned transition to give up its oversight to a global multi-stakeholder community.”

But those who want to take your liberties away never give up. Those who want to give away your Internet to a consortium of third world thugs and tyrants kept working quietly, behind the scenes, and now that Barack Obama’s reign is coming to an end, they’re going to take one last bite at the apple.

Well guess what? We beat them before and we can beat them again and hopefully we’ll beat them once and for all, but it’s not going to be easy.

There are some who are addressing the dangers and what they are saying should be a major cause for alarm:

“The United States owes nothing to ‘international stakeholders’ who are determined to make the Internet look more like the United Nations.” –The Washington Times Editorial Board

“Every American should worry about Obama giving up control of the internet to an undefined group. This is very, very dangerous.” – Newt Gingrich

“The Obama administration has played into the hands of authoritarian regimes. In 2011, Vladimir Putin—who, as Russia took over Crimea in recent days, shut down many online critics and independent media—set a goal of ‘international control over the Internet.'” – L. Gordon Crovitz, Former publisher of The Wall Street Journal

“Regimes around the world are dangerously intent on squashing Internet freedom. We must be very careful not to allow them to extend their influence over the very core of the Internet.” – Dr. Jerry A. Johnson, President & CEO, National Religious Broadcasters

“The abdication of U.S. oversight of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) would have serious consequences for our national security interests and Constitutional freedoms.” – Center for Security Policy

And do not deceive yourself, the international bad boys won’t stop at regulating speech on the Internet. You can be certain that they’re also planning to come after your wallet, because what can be regulated, can also be taxed.

Google Tries to Rig Election For Hillary

First Fascbook and Twitter were caught deliberately pimping subjective liberal victimology memes and narratives at the expense of the universal objective TRUTH. Now Google’s pimping Clinton!

It turns out Google is a pawn working for Hillary.

SourceFeed made a shocking discovery when they looked how search engines autofill their search bar. It was normal when looking for Bernie Sander or Donald Trump, but when you try to look Hillary Clinton than the searches become something weird.

When typing Hillary Clinton I… as in Indictment, the thing that every search engine shows. Google instead shows Hillary Clinton India. I can personally guarantee you that no one is searching for Hillary Clinton and India in one sentence.

This is a big deal considering that Google is the countries number one search engine and a way that millions of Americans check their facts and get their news each day.

Why would Google take such a giant risk of attempting to rig an election? Well, it turns out that their former head, Eric Schmidt, who is now the chairman of their parent company, now funds a company that works for Hillary Clinton. Ohh did I mention that he also works for the Pentagon too? No, I’m sure this is all just one big coincidence.

Watch this video and be warned. Google has the power to sway upwards of 25% of all elections and when you have that much money mixed with these levels of political power it is not a question of if, but rather how long has then been going on and how long will it continue.

“Anonymous” Hacks Federal Reserve; Grabs Stock Ownership files!

The hacker group known as “Anonymous” has announced it successfully penetrated multiple systems within the federal reserve bank, and successfully downloaded two crucial files: One showing an account number and the stocks owned by that account number, the other showing an account number and the name of the owner of that account. Without having BOTH files, no one could ever tell who owned what. Anonymous claims they stole BOTH files!

Anonymous says the federal reserve bank owns more than fifty percent of the stock in quite a few major US Corporations! If the fed had not purchased these vast quantities of stocks (Think Dow Jones Industrials (DJIA) and the S&P 500) both markets would have crashed long ago!

Even worse, the group claims that the US federal reserve also purchased stocks in foreign companies and foreign banks in such vast quantities as to prop-up European and Asian markets!!!!

The hacker group says they are planning to release the two files via WikiLeaks or to the Internet through a third-party anonymous site (like pastebin) in the near future, to show all the details.

If this turns out to be true, and the US Federal Reserve has been manufacturing cash out of thin air to buy stocks and prop-up the markets, someone will have an awful lot of explaining to do; like who authorized this and where did the money come from to do it?

The effect this revelation may have on the stock market would be catastrophic. If it turns out that the DJIA and S&P500 are fraudulent — totally propped-up by fed money — then stockholders will realize their stocks in those companies/markets are actually worthless and dump them before the fed does! Instant market crash!

“Victimology” Studies have arrived at last! Sign your kids up and pay big bucks to let them share the accumulated excuse-making wisdom of countless generations of academic criminals before them!

Your kids have learned what soft touches you are, and how whining and wheedling gets results! Well, it’s now officially a career choice! Teach your SocialJustice Warriors how to slander & extort others!

I’ve been laughing at this term for at least the last decade, because I had long-since past realized it’s what criminals (aka libertine “liberals” and “muslims”) are all about – but now they’ve doubled down so much that it’s become a real, official, academic faculty of instruction in our colleges! As if somehow all “victims” of diverse problems and crimes, somehow all had something in common, which could be scientifically studied!

“Victimology” (now openly “taught” in colleges!) is really only the criminals’ main alibi to excuse their crimes – the false notion that there are no real crimes nor criminals, because there is no free-will intent or choice: everyone is a helpless victim of “inevitable” force: of “society” / mere products of their environments (or of “Historical Predeterminism” as Karl Marx put it) and of course as proud “slaves of allah!”

In the hallowed halls and ivory towers of Academia, Life is now officially too complex for anyone to ever be able to really understand causes and effects, so, “since” all ‘facts’ are really only opinions anyway, from now on all of the leftists’ entirely fact-free, subjective opinions, are to be legally deemed and held to be the diversely opposite equals to those silly conservatives’ so-called objective ‘facts!’ If you look like a man but feel like a woman, then hey presto! From now on, the Law will say that you are a woman, and may allah help those female bigots who expect their daughters to be able to safely use the women’s change-rooms and washrooms while denying you entry!

So nothing is really ever anyone’s fault, so everyone can from now on have rights without any silly concomitant, corollary responsibilities! People are now free to do what they want, whenever and wherever they want to do it, and to whomever they want to do it with or to, too! Now that’s “progress!” Whee!

C’mon, people: There are no wrong answers, crimes or criminals. And the Devil now officially doesn’t exist! Whee.

A young woman shot in Bells Corners early Easter Sunday morning had hope to use her education to work with youths who were victims of crime.

But the 24-year-old Algonquin College student herself became a victim of violence over the weekend and wasn’t expected to recover from her injuries.

Christina Voelzing was only weeks from completing a “graduate program in victimology” when she was shot several times inside her Bells Corners home.

Police said at press time Monday evening that Voelzing remained on life support. Friends, meanwhile, had posted pictures in tribute to Voelzing on social media throughout the day.

A day earlier, neighbours said they heard several gunshots at about 5 a.m. at 11D Sonnet Cres., a four-unit building near Old Richmond Road and Moodie Drive.

Several neighbours also said they heard a single loud bang coming from the direction of the building three hours before they heard the shots.By Monday night, police did not have a suspect in custody and had released few details about the shooting, which continued to be investigated by major crime detectives.

Hmmmm … no details on the shooters or motivations, but since a “victimologist” is involved, I’m gonna go out on a limb here, and posit the (extremely obvious) guess that IT WAS HER SWARTHY MUSLIM BOYFRIEND!

Flags were flying at half-mast at Algonquin College on Monday.

Voelzing’s mother, Sherryl Fraser, is the chair of general arts and sciences at the college.

“It is difficult to imagine the shock, pain and loss felt by our friend and colleague,” said college president Cheryl Jensen in a memo to staff. “I know you will all join me in expressing our deepest condolences to Sherryl and her family, who remain in our thoughts and in our prayers.”

If she was in your thoughts, you might want to blame her for ruining AND ENDING her daughter’s life by abusing her with these ridiculously criminally negligent notions that everyone is a victim and all criminals need coddling!

The college’s tragic events response teamwas offering counselling to students, and college staff in need of support were directed to the employee assistance program. PURE VICTIMOLOGY IS INGRAINED HERE TOO!

According to her own social media profiles, Voelzing also studied hospitality at Algonquin, in 2012, and most recently worked as a server at Fitz Classic Grill.

Co-workers at the Bells Corners restaurant expressed their shock and disbelief when contacted Monday.

Voelzing was due to complete a two-year graduate program in victimology in April.

“Upon graduation, I hope to work with youth involved in the criminal justice system,” she wrote on one online profile. “I hope to use my skills and understanding of victims’ rights and needs as well as the victim-offender continuum to work with and support youth.” SHE WAS “STUDYING THE VICTIM-OFFENDER CONTINUUM!”

Voelzing made several other postings on her Facebook profile, which took on an unsettling tone following Sunday’s shooting.

Just before Christmas, she posted a picture of herself planting a kiss on a young man’s cheek, writing the caption: “RIP. Forever loved. Forever missed.”

Her friends were sharing similar sentiments about Voelzing in social media postings.

Christina Voelzing died taking a bullet from a gun aimed at her roommate.

Postmedia has learned that a gunfight erupted between two men inside Voelzing’s home around 5 a.m. Easter Sunday after an armed gunman known to the young Algonquin student busted through the front door and then began firing at several occupants of the home at 11D Sonnet Cres.

Another man inside the home, also known to Voelzing, also had a gun and the two exchanged gunfire.

“HMMMM!” Unusual in Ottawa, Canada –

UNLESS THEY WERE BOTH HELPLESS MUSLIM “VICTIMS!”

At one point, a gun was pointed at Voelzing’s roommate and Voelzing pushed the woman out of the way and was shot in the neck.

Police believe the shooting was targeted, but would not detail who they suspect the intended target was.

Because that might risk their own pensions and careers if it got them accused of being “hateful racist bigots!”

“The shooter had a clear and focused intent to attack a person,” said acting Staff Sgt. Darren Vinet, who heads the homicide unit.

The 24-year-old woman was found unconscious inside the home after neighbours heard several gunshots and a loud bang.

Voelzing had no vital signs once at hospital, but was revived and taken into surgery. She was kept on life support for several days before ultimately succumbing to her injuries early Wednesday morning.

Vinet said police are looking for “at least one suspect” in the killing and that investigators, for their part, are still trying to determine the sequence of events that led to Voelzing’s killing. A vehicle was seized at the scene on Sunday.

Aside from a 2013 impaired driving conviction, Voelzing did not have a criminal record, but friends said that in recent years she had been involved in troubled, and at times violent, relationships. AHAH! Methinks “muslims!”

Postmedia has learned that police are also probing the killing for links to the sex trade. Again: I’d bet: “Muslims!”

Voelzing was just weeks away from graduating from a victimology program at Algonquin College, where her mother Sherryl Fraser is chair of general arts and sciences. Complicit enabler of coddling criminals!

Voelzing had hoped to work with youth victims and offenders. Because to liberals, there is no real difference.

The college is in the process of collecting donations to create a bursary in Voelzing’s honour. To liberals, blatant Stupidity should always be honoured.

The co-ordinator of her program called her kind, compassionate and full of “inspiring resilience.” She must mean “willful ignorance!”

In a statement released Wednesday morning, just hours after Voelzing’s family took her off life support, her uncle Randy Booth said the family confirmed her death with “heavy hearts.” Can’t neck wounds be repaired?Oh, wait – in true liberal (think: “Planned parenthood”) tradition, they wanted to chop her up and sell the parts!

Voelzing was kept alive long enough that her organs could be donated – something her family said she would’ve been happy to know — and that family and friends could get the chance to say goodbye to the young woman.

“The outpouring of support from friends and the community is overwhelming and much appreciated,” Booth said.

Voelzing’s family has requested privacy as they grieve. “We taught our daughter that there are no criminals and so everyone, muslims included, are always innocent until never proven guilty, because they are always victims!”

Booth said that while the homicide investigation into his niece’s death continues, the family has not received any updates on the investigation.

Voelzing’s is the sixth homicide of the year. She is the fifth person to die by gunfire in Ottawa in 2016.

YES, YES, LIBERALS – I’M SURE THE GUNS DID IT, AS USUAL!

GO ARREST THE GUNS, QUICK!
Her shooting was the 17th shooting in a year that has seen 18 reported incidents of gunshots in city limits.

A former boyfriend of the victim in the Bells Corners Easter Sunday shootout that killed Christina Voelzing was arrested without incident on Friday in the Greater Toronto Area.

Police had issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for Behnam Yaali, 23. He was wanted on a charge of second-degree murder. A MUSLIM SHOWING UP ARMED TO KILL SOMEONE IS ONLY 2ND DEGREE MURDER!

Yaali is to appear in Ottawa court on Saturday.

Randy Booth, Voelzing’s uncle, had said the family was “relieved” that police were making progress in the investigation and that a person of interest had been identified.

“We ask the public to keep an eye out for this individual so justice may be served,” he had said on behalf of Voelzing’s family, who asked for privacy as they grieve.

“We’re going to let the authorities handle this, let them do their jobs and we’re just going to try to heal as a family and carry on,” Booth said.

Voelzing, 24, was mortally wounded early Easter Sunday morning when two of her former lovers exchanged gunfire inside the apartment she shared with two roommates. Around 5 a.m., police believe Yaali kicked in the front door and began firing inside the home at 11D Sonnet Cres.

Another man inside the home, believed to be Voelzing’s former boyfriend whom she had recently rekindled a relationship with, also had a gun and the two exchanged gunfire.

Friends told Postmedia the Algonquin College student, who was weeks away from completing a victimology program, died after a gun that was initially pointed at her roommate was fired at her. She leapt in to intervene and was shot in the neck. Police allege Yaali pulled the trigger.

Voelzing had no vital signs once at hospital, but was revived and taken into surgery. She was kept on life support for several days so that her organs could be donated and so that her brother, who lives in Dubai, could return to Ottawa to see her. Voelzing died from her injuries three days after being shot. SO OBVIOUSLY THE WHOLE FAMILY ARE A BUNCH OF FUCKED UP LIBERAL RACISTS PRETENDING ARABS ARE VICTIMS!

Friends alleged that both Yaali and the second gunman in the house were involved in drug activity. “GOSH!”

Police had been probing any connections the gunmen had to the sex trade.

Yaali has never been convicted of a crime in Ontario. In 2011, he was charged with drug possession but that charge was later withdrawn. He does, however, have an American criminal record.

On July 24, 2012, Yaali was arrested at the Miami International Airport with 7.78 kilograms of cocaine that he smuggled into the country from Ecuador.

Yaali’s American Airlines flight arrived shortly after 2:20 p.m. from Quito, Ecuador, according to information sworn by a special agent for homeland security investigations. During a secondary examination of Yaali’s luggage, customs officers found “a white powdery substance concealed in a false siding and the railings” of his suitcase. Yaali lied and said he didn’t know about the dope since he had bought the suitcase in Ecuador but then later admitted the truth.

He was initially charged with importing cocaine and, because of the large quantity, possession with intent to distribute.

Yaali negotiated a plea deal that saw him plead guilty to smuggling the drugs so that the trafficking charge was dismissed. He was sentenced to 30 months in jail. THEN THEY LET HIM INTO CANADA WITH HIS GUNS.

Voelzing’s mother, Sherryl Fraser, is chair of general arts and sciences at Algonquin College, where her daughter was a student in the victimology program. Voelzing had hoped to work with youth victims and offenders.

The college began collecting donations to create a bursary in Voelzing’s honour after her death.

Voelzing’s was the sixth homicide of the year. She is the fifth person to die by gunfire in Ottawa in 2016.YEAH, MAKE SURE TO EMPHASIZE THAT LAST BIT WITH EVERY SINGLE UPDATE TO THIS CRIME!

The Consequences of Anti-Zionism

The Israeli government needs to pointedly and consistently explain to the leaders of Europe that their assault on Israel will not convince the jihadists to spare them.

What do radical Israeli groups have in common with their European funders? Last Thursday, Channel 2 broadcast candid camera footage of Breaking the Silence members gathering classified information on IDF operations. The footage was taken by Ad Kan activists.

Breaking the Silence claims to be an organization dedicated to collecting testimonies from IDF soldiers documenting ill-treatment of Palestinians. Posing as soldiers with information to share, Ad Kan activists were interrogated by Breaking the Silence investigators.

Yet rather than question them about how their units treated Palestinians, Breaking the Silence members asked them about troop movements, weapons platforms, IDF cooperation with foreign militaries. The investigators asked what sort of guns an unmanned combat vehicle carried, who controlled the vehicle and whether it was in operational use.

They wanted to know how the IDF discovers Hamas tunnels. They wanted to know when tanks were used in battles and how.

A Breaking the Silence employee named Frima Bobis is filmed telling Ad Kan activists how when she was still in high school, a Breaking the Silence worker advised her where to serve during her military service. Hey, that even qualifies as a subversion conspiracy!

She followed his advice, served in the civil administration’s office in Nablus, and upon her discharge, was able to give Breaking the Silence useful information.

Breaking the Silence hired her shortly after her return to civilian life.

Julia Novak, Breaking the Silence’s executive director, did not dispute Ad Kan’s findings. In her response to the broadcast she gave three defenses for her group’s activities.

First, she said, Ad Kan’s findings are unworthy of attention because it is a “settler” organization.

Second, she said that her group’s noble goal of “ending the occupation” gives it the right to collect and hold classified information. In other words, just as Ad Kan’s support for Israeli control over Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem makes it illegitimate, so Breaking the Silence’s support for ending “the occupation” renders it immune from criticism. All criminals are victim-blaming slanderous hypocrites.

These claims ring familiar. Similar claims were made in January by her comrades after Channel 2’s investigative magazine Uvda broadcast another Ad Kan, report. That report showed members of Breaking the Silence engaging in what appeared to be various forms of criminal activities with members of Ta’ayush. Those activities included tax evasion and unlawfully interfering with military operations as well as assaulting soldiers.

The January report also showed senior Ta’ayush and B’Tselem operatives Ezra Nawi and Nasser Nawaja apparently plotting to turn a Palestinian interested in selling his land to Jews over to Palestinian security services with the full knowledge that they would torture and murder him.

B’Tselem’s response to the January report was first to dismiss its legitimacy. Uvda, the group insisted, was wrong to broadcast the report because it was filmed by Ad Kan investigators rather than Uvda reporters. Typical criminal subjectivism: they only care about who does something, not what’s done!

B’Tselem’s claim was particularly rich given that Channel 2 makes liberal use of footage B’Tselem provides its reporters.

Just as Novak doubled down on Breaking the Silence’s spying operations, insisting they were legitimate without explaining why, so B’Tselem justified Nawaja’s actions insisting that handing Palestinian land sellers over to the PA is “the only legitimate path available to Palestinians.”

B’Tselem didn’t explain why Nawaja didn’t just get his donor friends to buy the land. The self-proclaimed human rights group didn’t explain why its senior employee couldn’t accept the human right of Palestinians to sell their land to Jews or the human right of Jews to buy land from a willing Palestinian seller.

B’Tselem didn’t explain why it legitimate to turn over innocents to PA henchmen with the full knowledge that doing so will lead to their torture and murder.

It isn’t that the radical Left’s goal of expelling all Jews and IDF units from Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem is inherently illegitimate. It is arguably just as legitimate as the late Meir Kahane’s goal of expelling all Arabs from Judea and Samaria.

I’m surprised Caroline Glick would make this argument from racism, when she should know that the ‘Arabs” reasons for expelling all the Jews from Israel have nothing to do with fake “palestine” – and everything to do with the Qur’an – which was written at a time when there were no Jews left there!

But it’s a common fallacy trope used by clueless Israelis, who presume the conflict is race & religion!

But the fact that your goal is legitimate doesn’t give you the right to break the law. In other words, Breaking the Silence is legitimate. Breaking the law is not. Being a crime-gang, islam is illegitimate.

Ad Kan’s revelations are startling not because they call into question the legitimacy of the radical Left’s goal. They are startling because they show that in advancing that goal, radical leftist groups have a distressing comfort level with criminal activities. All leftists are extortionist criminal gangsters, Ms.Glick.

And this brings us to Novak’s third justification for her group’s intelligence operations.

Novak said that Breaking the Silence’s activities are permissible because it always gets the Military Censor’s permission before it publishes its reports. But that merely exacerbates suspicions.

If it isn’t publishing the classified information it gathers, why is it gathering it? Whom is it gathering it for? Which brings us to Europe.

According to NGO Monitor, in 2014, 61 percent of Breaking the Silence’s budget came from European governments.

After Uvda broadcast Ad Kan’s footage of Nawi and Nawaja apparently plotting the murder of an innocent Palestinian in January, British legislators demanded that the Foreign Office justify government funding of B’Tselem.

The same parliamentarians could just as easily have asked why their government funds the Palestinian Authority, which murders innocent Palestinians.

In the event, once the media storm passed, things went back to normal for the British and their radical leftist agents.

Will the same pattern follow today? In the aftermath of the ISIS attacks in Brussels, will Europeans demand to know why European resources are being used to fund espionage against the IDF on the one hand, and Palestinian security services that commit murder and support jihad on the other? The upshot of Ad Kan’s revelations, which indicate widespread criminal activity by EU-funded radical groups, is not that these groups are inherently criminal. Why the hell not?!

But they do indicate that members of these groups have a cavalier attitude – at best – about respecting the law. Which means they are criminals – criminality requires intent, ditto for criminal negligence!

In a similar fashion, Europe’s funding of anti-Israel campaigns like its bankrolling of the PA does not make the EU incompetent to deal with the jihadist forces that are presently assaulting its member nations and citizens. But it is true that there seems to be a direct correlation between hostility to Israel and inability to competently fight jihadists. And this makes sense. If you believe that Israel is the cause of the pathologies of the Islamic world, then you will likely be blind to the nature of the jihadist threat and the danger it poses to your nation.

Following the ISIS strikes in Brussels, both Israeli and American security experts spoke bitterly of the ineptitude of Belgian security services. It is not that the forces themselves are incompetent. Rather, the experts said, their political leadership refuses to allow them to take the actions necessary to protect their country.

The Belgians, like their European brethren generally, refuse to deal with jihad. Rather than acknowledge and deal forthrightly with the phenomenon, they seek every possible excuse to ignore it.

According to senior government officials, the Belgians are among the most vociferous foes of Israel in the EU. Europe’s obsessive castigation of Israel is a central aspect of their jihad avoidance strategy. If Israel is to blame for everything, then they can save themselves by pouring billions of euros on the PA and by funding Israeli anti-Zionist subversives.

This position is of course irrational. In clinging to it, the Europeans have enabled the jihadist forces arrayed against them to gather and grow.

Consider the July 7, 2005, attacks in London. Shortly after they occurred, British investigators discovered that Muhammad Sidique Khan, who led the British al-Qaida cell that carried out the attacks, was connected to the British jihadists who carried out the 2003 suicide bombing at Mike’s Place pub in Tel Aviv, adjacent to the US Embassy.

The Mike’s Place bombers were also connected with the radical Left, having toured Israel and Gaza with an International Solidarity Movement group before carrying out their attack.

Yet, just as British authorities ignored the significance of the participation of British jihadists in the jihad against Israel 13 years ago, and disregarded the significance of the post-7/7 revelations 11 years ago, so in the intervening years, as jihadist forces grew and spread throughout the continent, rather than shed their hostility toward Israel and stop blaming it for the jihadist Islam, the Europeans expanded their onslaught against the Jewish state.

The EU’s subversive activities on the ground massively expanded as did its political and economic war against Israel internationally. The EU’s decision to promote economic boycotts of Israel by labeling Israeli products is just the latest indication that as the threat of jihad grows, the Europeans have doubled down on their campaigns to harm Israel.

Is it possible for them to change course? Last week Foreign Ministry director-general Dore Gold visited South Africa. The anti-Israel boycott movement, like the pernicious campaign to libel the Jewish state “apartheid,” was born in South Africa 15 years ago. At the notorious Durban conference on the eve of the September 11, 2001, jihadist attacks, the international NGO movement voted to criminalize the Jewish state.

Since 1994, reports have surfaced of jihadist groups, including al-Qaida, Hamas and Hezbollah, operating training camps in South Africa. The order for jihadists to carry out the 2013 massacre at Nairobi’s Westgate Mall reportedly came from al-Qaida operatives in South Africa.

Last October, South African President Jacob Zuma hosted Hamas terrorism-master Khaled Mashaal for a four-day visit.

During his stay in South Africa, Gold gently tried to explain to his hosts that their support for jihadists and their hostility for Israel would not protect them from the ravages of jihad. But the danger is still too intangible for them. They couldn’t grasp what he was saying.

Now that Europe is paying the price for its refusal to contend with the threat of jihad, will its leaders wake up to reality?

With ISIS now capable of attacking at will in almost every city in Europe, will they realize that the time has come to stop funding Palestinian jihadists and Israeli subversives? Or is it too late for them to change course?

Will they cling to the bitter end to their anti-Semitic delusion that by feeding the Jewish state to the jihadist tiger, he will not come for them?

For Israel, the path is clear regardless of what Europe decides. Our law enforcement bodies need to investigate and prosecute left-wing criminals with the same seriousness they investigate and prosecute all other criminals, regardless of the support they receive from their European funders. And our government needs to pointedly and consistently explain to the leaders of Europe that their assault on Israel will not convince the jihadists to spare them. So far all the Europeans have for their efforts are massacred civilians and shattered defenses.
